The coulomb is defined as the quantity of charge that passes through the cross section of an electrical conductor carrying one ampere for one second.
| FactSnippet No. 1,270,414 |
The quantity of electric Electrical charge can be directly measured with an electrometer, or indirectly measured with a ballistic galvanometer.
| FactSnippet No. 1,270,415 |
Elementary Electrical charge is defined as a fundamental constant in the SI system of units.
| FactSnippet No. 1,270,416 |
The unit is today referred to as elementary charge, fundamental unit of charge, or simply denoted e A measure of charge should be a multiple of the elementary charge e, even if at large scales charge seems to behave as a continuous quantity.

Electrical charge's work was largely a repetition of Gilbert's studies, but he identified several more "electrics", and noted mutual attraction between two bodies.

Electrical charge noticed that a cork, used to protect the tube from dust and moisture, became electrified .
| FactSnippet No. 1,270,419 |
Electrical charge attempted to explain this phenomenon with the idea of electrical effluvia.
| FactSnippet No. 1,270,420 |
Electrical charge posited that rubbing insulating surfaces together caused this fluid to change location, and that a flow of this fluid constitutes an electric current.
| FactSnippet No. 1,270,421 |
Electrical charge posited that when matter contained an excess of the fluid it was positively charged and when it had a deficit it was negatively charged.
| FactSnippet No. 1,270,422 |
Electrical charge identified the term positive with vitreous electricity and negative with resinous electricity after performing an experiment with a glass tube he had received from his overseas colleague Peter Collinson.

In 1800 Alessandro Volta was the first to show that Electrical charge could be maintained in continuous motion through a closed path.
| FactSnippet No. 1,270,424 |
Electrical charge investigated whether matter could be charged with one kind of charge independently of the other.
| FactSnippet No. 1,270,425 |
Electrical charge came to the conclusion that electric charge was a relation between two or more bodies, because he could not charge one body without having an opposite charge in another body.
| FactSnippet No. 1,270,426 |
Electrical charge focused on the idea that the normal state of particles is to be nonpolarized, and that when polarized, they seek to return to their natural, nonpolarized state.
| FactSnippet No. 1,270,427 |
An electrostatic disElectrical charge creates a change in the Electrical charge of each of the two objects.
